Dear John, Airport Surroundings

Loney, Dear is the pseudonym of Swedish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Emil Svanängen. So far in 2009, Loney, Dear joined Andrew Bird as he toured to support Bird's January release of Noble Beast. He also released his fifth full length album "Dear John" on January 27, 2009 via Polyvinyl Records.

Clarinets, saxophones, baritone snare drums, glockenspiels, barking keyboard bass, and odd percussion are layered gradually through each song to create wonderful compositions. There is a danger in listening though, and that would be the fact that you won't want to stop.

If you're going to SXSW this year, make sure to swing by the Polyvinyl Showcase. Asobi Seksu, Headlights, Loney Dear, Cale Parks, City Center (Fred Thomas of Saturday Looks Good To Me), and Common Loon will be playing at the Habana Calle Friday, March 20. Doors at 7pm, show at 8pm.
